Plugins + Scripts Background Image Helper

[Xacreux]

First of all, thank you so much for creating such an excellent plug-in that allows videos to be freely played within a scene. I’ve been using it in various way and it works wonderfully.

One functional limitation I’ve noticed is that, all images and videos must be located inside the [save/image] and [save/video] directories. Because of this, when I decorate a scene using short video clips I created myself and then release the scene as a VAR—including those clips originally placed in [save/video] in the VAR—the plug-in cannot load them when the scene is opened from the VAR package, since the save/video directory of new VAM environment does not contain the video clips of my original VAM environment.

Would it be possible to allow the plug-in to load images and videos from the custom/ directory as well, so that scenes packaged as VARs can still access their media files?
Personally, I find this plug-in extremely useful, but due to this issue, it’s currently difficult for me to publish scenes that rely on it as VARs.
